Fire station field trip

Reesing had a field trip to a fire station on Monday. Mom was lucky enough to get to go with her & snapped some pictures. The firefighters were really great with the kids and took extra care in teaching them fire safety. The fire house was pretty nice & the kids loved exploring every inch of it.  Hooray for a fun field trip with her classmates!

Watch out...here comes firefighter Reesing to save the day!

But before getting to the fire we must stop  & smile for the camera. L

Ready to get to work

Checking out the sleeping headquarters & the fire fighter let them jump on the bed!

As you will notice...the person walking in front of Reesing is in some more pics. To come. Reesing has officially declared him as her best friend. 

Watching t.v. In the fire ststion's living room. 

Buddies. This chair is definitely big enough for two. 

And the first one to check out fireman Grady was Reesing. 

And the first one to bang on fireman Grady's helmet  & show how it would protect his head was Reesing. 

10 months for Kawlins

Our precious Kawlies, Kaw Kaw, Kawlins turned 10 months this past Thursday. Some of her favorites is a head shake to the word "no" and showing off her clapping & stomping skills. She LOVES music. If there is a tune on she is grooving to it. She started crawling shortly after her 9 month mark, but now she's lightning speed fast on all 4s & it won't be long before she's walking. She pulls up on everything and walks her way around to where she wants to go. She also loves eating, and really doesn't turn anything away. Doug's family thinks she looks like me and my family thinks she looks like Doug, go figure. She is the happiest when she is with her daddy or right in the middle of the action. She admires from afar when dad wrestles with the other kids. She can't wait to be in the middle of it all. She's got two teeth on the bottom and is good at using them. She also loves to listen to books when it's storytime at night. It's been a fun 10 months Kawlins can't wait to celebrate the 1-year mark with you! Love you Kawlies! XOXO

Kawlins' stats at 9 month well visit check:

Height- 28.25 inches - 75 percentile

Weight- 19 lbs. 15 oz. -72percentile

Head circumference - 17.25 in. - 46percentile 

Love, love, love a fresh baby outta the bath!
